Causes a change in the ph level in the rumen. The cow will alter her own feeding behavior in order to help with the acidosis by eating a diet higher in ber. Chlorophyll may help detoxify harmful substances like heavy metals. How fat contributes to the generation of atp. 3 fatty acids go through oxidation process -> immediate product is acetyl- coa.
